From Jigsaw Floors to Rubik’s Cubes: A Little Throwback to 2016

While scrolling through my Google Photos today, I stumbled upon a photo of Cass taken in February 2016. She was holding a Rubik’s cube, completely absorbed in it — and just like that, a flood of memories came rushing back.

Back then, both Alycia and Cass were crazy over the Rubik’s cube. Alycia’s high school teacher had encouraged the class to solve it during breaks, and she quickly got the hang of it. Within a short time, she could solve the entire cube in just a few minutes. Naturally, curious little Cass followed along. She was fascinated watching her sister and soon wanted one of her own.

From that point on, the cube went everywhere with her — waiting for me outside fitting rooms, sitting on trains, in the car, basically wherever we went. And somehow, she eventually mastered it too. She has always had a special gift for puzzles.

Even as a toddler, Cass was obsessed with jigsaw puzzles. At just two years old, she would sit on the floor completely immersed, piecing everything together with intense focus. I still remember moments when everyone was ready to head out, yet she remained glued to the floor, determined to finish her puzzle first.

Looking back at that photo, I realise how quickly time has flown. I miss that little puzzle-obsessed baby so much. Counting down the days — I’ll be seeing her again at the end of this month ❤️
